Dara O Briain interview: comedy, Isle Of Man, IMDB

Heres how it went… I caught a really good Ed Byrne gig the other week. A Tuesday night in a place you have to drive to. Not a very giving crowd. People arrive knowing who you are. But yeah, you still get Tuesday nights. Which is difficult to fire up. I quite like the conflict part, though. And then it’s possible for you to turn that around. I had a kind of weird one in the Isle Of Man....

Instead,Fantastic Four 2now has the dreaded TBD attached to it. Back on August 12th,Drew McWeeny atHitFixhad sources who kind of predicted this. It may not make that original 2017 date, he said, but theyre definitely planning to make it. Maybe some day, someone will get the FF right on screen....

Jessica Jones episode 4 viewing notes: AKA 99 Friends

Here are our episode 4 viewing notes… Jessica tries to find out who Kilgrave is using to tail her. Meanwhile, shes asked to spy on a cheating husband for a new client.

Sherlock: Benedict Cumberbatch on ‘The Abominable Bride’

Ad content continues below I was thrilled! And then I wentyoure mad, what? The first pitch was quite light. And it really is. Its so nice to play him in his era. It feels easier to a degree. Yet it doesnt feel like cliche because youre functioningin themrather than quoting them. Has the change in period affected your performance? Im sure it has. Sherlock is more at peace with his surroundings and environment?...

Sherlock: Martin Freeman on Christmas Special ‘The Abominable Bride’

Filming onSherlocks first Christmas Special,The Abominable Bride, took place at the beginning of this year. The rest was a hotchpotch of rumour, deduction and inference. Is it any different to normal? You amend what youre doing very slightly. Theres less overly casual, modern speech, I suppose. The sentence structures are a bit more formalised so that, inevitably, makes you speak more properly. How are you finding the costume? Its fine, its slightly frustrating because you cant get dressed on your own....

Supergirl: How Does She Do It review

Kara has to keep an eye on Cat Grant’s son while a bomber targets Maxwell Lord. Here’s this week’s Supergirl review. But for all its problems, this weeks installment felt a little more well balanced to me. There are still issues, though, mostly with the romantic stuff. Its just that none of these core romantic beats are really connecting. I dont buy Jimmy and Kara. I like them both, quite a bit....

Homeland: All About Allison Review

This Homeland review contains spoilers. Like the title of the episode would suggest, this weeks episode ofHomelandis all about Allison Carr. But it also reflects an era before the series started… and one whereHomelandfeels entirely in its element. But the intrigues are also much more, well, intriguing. In any event, these flashbacks are for the audiences benefit to understand the length of Allisons duplicity. Indeed, this is almost what happens in the present when Carrie and Allison finally have a tete-a-tete....

Jessica Jones episode 3 viewing notes: AKA It’s Called Whiskey

Luke and Jessica get a lot more involved with each other (sexually). Jessica manages to track Kilgrave down and come briefly face-to-face with him before he escapes. We learn that Reva, the woman Jessica killed while under Kilgraves influence, was Cages wife. Ad content continues below Ah well, that damaged-kidneys-making-Kilgrave-purple theory was a bust. I cant blame them for that decision, even if its not what Id have wanted. In this shes explicitly his ex-wife....

Man in the High Castle: Where Can Amazon’s Adaptation Go?

This article is spoiler-free. The prevailing thought, when the book is closed and the adaptation begins, is comparison. When youve read and loved the source material, its an inescapable feeling. Yet what happens when the source material, while polarizing and stimulating, is too introspective for screen? Its own kind of cool idea… But to suggest that thats an outgrowth of the novel feels disingenuous. Essentially, the framework is borrowed, but what sits inside is a story that stands on its own....
